What is Preventive Care?

Preventive dentistry focuses on caring regularly for your teeth in a way that prevents cavities and decay as well as tooth damage and disease. Preventive dentistry maintains the health and beauty of your smile and can also save you major costs in the long run on expensive restorations and procedures.

Preventive dentistry is not only important for adults, but it can also help establish good habits with children at a young age. Proper brushing and flossing as well as eating healthy foods and visiting the dentist regularly can help prevent several dental issues such as:

Comprehensive Examinations

Knowing where to begin with your individual treatment plan starts with the first visit. Doctor Hernandez provides comprehensive examinations that fully evaluate the status of your dental health and help determine the best course of treatment to restore and maintain your smile.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Although some populations are more at risk for oral cancer, it can develop in anyone at any stage of life. Doctor Hernandez uses the latest in screening technology to not only check the status of your teeth but also the overall health of your mouth.

Diagnostic Digital X-rays

Advances in x-ray technology have resulted in more efficient and accurate diagnostic imaging, ensuring that Dr. Hernandez is able to see the whole picture when evaluating and diagnosing your dental condition.

Intra-oral Camera

This lightweight, high-tech technology enhances diagnostic capabilities by bringing even the smallest details into focus, allowing Dr. Hernandez to fully explore and assess dental concerns that may be difficult to identify.

Adult and Child Dental Check-Ups

It is important to establish good oral hygiene in children from a young age with brushing, flossing and regular check-ups. These habits are also important for adults and can save you time, money and discomfort later on.

Reviews

"Excellent service. I highly recommend them to anyone. The dentist is superb and so is the hygienist and staff. They take time and you never feel any pain. I’ve been with then about 5 years now I believe and am glad I finally have a good dentist."

"I saw Dr. Hernandez for a few visits before I had to switch dentists due to insurance. I didn’t like how I had to see a new dentist every time I went to that other office. I am now back and happy that I get to see him every time I come in. I need that consistency."

"The staff here is great! My most recent visit was a make-up for a visit that I had missed due to putting it on my calendar for the wrong time. I was re-scheduled at a time that was convenient for me and not just "worked in". Linda was very understanding of my mistake"
